Acne Studios collaborates with hipster Swedish brand Fjallraven

Swedish indie brand Fjällräven –famed for their functional designs – is collaborating with cult favourite Acne.

The collaboration combines the minimalism of Acne Studios with the functionality, vivid colours and materials of Fjällräven in playful ways.

Their reinvented Expedition Down jacket and the Kånken backpack launch worldwide as part of a unisex collection on 6 September this year.

“I grew up with Fjällräven. If you are Swedish, you have a very specific relationship with the brand,” explains Creative Director of Acne Studios, Jonny Johansson. “I’m very proud that it’s Swedish, and wanted to share our love for Fjällräven with the world.”

“It’s a unique collection that embodies the timeless functionality of Fjällräven and the artistic approach of Acne Studios,” says Henrik Andersson, Head of Innovation and Design at Fjällräven.

You can expect to see new details added to a fresh edit of staple designs. Fake fur trims will be added to the Expedition Down jacket and a blush pink panel extends the hem of a women’s blue parka.

There’s also tee shirt’s featuring typical hiking scenes, vivid colour outdoor caps and, for the adventurer’s out there, there’s even a camouflage sleeping bag.

Their legendary backpack the Kånken is reimagined in three styles; a fresh version that can also act as a messenger bag; and a mini Kånken clutch.

For hipsters, hikers and anyone seeking a slice of Scandi cool, this one’s a no brainer.
